McNulty Good SBC ChampOctober 11, 2005 - San Antonio:
Mark McNulty used his putting prowess to lap the field
last year at the SBC Championship. In town on Monday of this
week for a media event at host course
Oak Hills Country Club, the 2005 SBC Championship
Champion wrapped up the session with a outdoor clinic on how
to master Oak Hills' Champions Bermuda greens, which are
running lightning fast. He's ranked 5th on the tour in
putting and it showed on Monday as he wowed the media crowd.
McNulty represents the Champions Tour well.
He's a gracious and humble champion, eager to thank the
sponsors, the volunteers, and of course the fans. Oh and by
the way, he's won 4 times on the Champions Tour in the
states and has 55 international wins. He's #5 on the
Champions Tour money list this year at $1,341,352 with
20 events played. The man can play.
McNulty and his cohorts including
Nelson, Stadler, Kite, Irwin, Morgan, Crenshaw, Haas, Trevino,
McCord, Quigley, Thorpe, and Curtis Strange. (see
full field), will be in San Antonio next week to once
again light-up Oak Hills at the SBC Championship.
The tourney is for a good cause. All
proceeds above and beyond the tournament expense go to the
University Health System - University of Texas Health
Science Center at San Antonio Pediatric
Organ Transplant Program. A better cause would be hard
to find.
The course at Oak Hills is in great shape
with the rough just deep enough to put a premium on hitting
it straight and keeping it in the short grass.
The weather should be perfect next week. The
refreshments and other attractions are always top-notch. All
this combined with a field of true golf Champions and you
have a great outdoor entertainment package. Monday through
Thursday is free admission is free courtesy of H.E.B. and
parking is free throughout the event. (see full schedule)
Come join us for great week of golf at the
2005 SBC Championship presented by Alcatel.

Current SBC
Championship Champion Mark McNulty on putting:
> "The mistakes
I see most amateurs make in putting is too much movement,
deceleration through the putt, and poor read of the line."
> "I always see the
hole as big and I always am thinking I can make the putt."
> "Don't think about
missing the putt, think about making it."
